Eco-Responsible Sneakers for Women

All our sneakers are made from recycled materials. The leather in each sneaker comes from the food industry, and all nylons are made from marine plastic waste. A zero-waste, responsible and ethical approach to ensure a reduced impact on our planet, because we start from a principle that marks all our collections: Why produce again what already exists?

Our work on ethical and sustainable fashion has enabled us to obtain PETA vegan approved certification, which ensures that our 100% vegan models are made exclusively from non-animal materials and are therefore cruelty-free. The Seaqual Initiative label, for its part, guarantees the upcycling of marine plastic waste used on all the nylons and canvas used on our sneakers. Finally, the Oeko-tex label certifies that none of our sneakers, vegan or otherwise, contain toxic substances.

All the other materials used on the brand's different models are derived from plant fibers, such as the organic cotton used for the laces and cuffs of your shoes.

For us, eco-responsibility isn't just about the environment; it's also about respect for people, which means paying particular attention to the work of our craftsmen, guaranteeing them a decent wage and guaranteeing their rights.

Our recycled vegan women's sneakers are made exclusively from recycled ocean plastic thanks to the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE organization. This waste is transformed into synthetic fibers such as nylon or a coated canvas that is very similar to faux leather. When we say vegan, we mean that these sneakers contain no animal traces whatsoever, even in the glue. Usually glue contains traces of fish skin, but here we've replaced it with a latex glue that's 100% vegetable. In addition to being totally eco-friendly and cruelty-free, each ethical shoe also ensures fair working conditions for our artisans in Portugal, because without them, we'd be nothing.

With a little summer dress or jeans, our vegan sneakers for women are ideal for their everyday comfort and will fit easily into your everyday wardrobe. Whether paired with a sporty or more elegant outfit, they'll look just as good with a t-shirt as with a shirt. The memory sole will encourage you to wear them every day and never leave your stylish, responsible shoe!

The ME.LAND brand is based on the principle that no animal should be killed for its skin. That's why we ensure that all the leather used for our sneakers comes exclusively from the food industry. This means we can offer you pairs of shoes that are both fashionable and ethical.

Responsible and sustainable, this commitment enables us to preserve biodiversity as much as possible, and to be part of an environmental approach that respects our planet. Renowned for its quality and durability, leather ensures an elegant finish on every pair of shoes. Materials (velvet calfskin, matte and shiny varnish, etc.) and colors are mixed to offer you a shoe that is elegant and original, yet responsible and committed to the environment.

Our selection of women's recycled leather sneakers guarantees a comfortable shoe that will fit perfectly into your wardrobe.

Who says stylish shoes don't go hand in hand with eco-friendly shoes?

Certainly not ME.LAND! We know all about style, recycled materials and the world of sneakers. There's no question of favouring one over the other: ethical and responsible fashion is essential today! Find your original and elegant sneaker with our Meaker and Beaker or opt for singularity and versatility with the Deaker sneaker or the Heaker sneaker. Each of our vegan and recycled EVAN and VIVACE sneakers, or our leather sneakers, offers not only everyday comfort but also unrivalled functionality. We can take countless steps a day, so it's essential to feel good in your sneakers!

Whether you're pairing your sneakers with a skirt and dress, jeans or tailored pants, ME.LAND sneakers are your everyday ally.

To care for your sneaker, it's essential to waterproof it as soon as you buy it. This will prevent stains and keep your feet dry! Clean your sneakers regularly with a damp cloth or suede rubber, depending on the materials used. Be careful: if you use one side of your suede eraser on the red velvet of one sneaker, don't use it on the white velvet of another, as this will transfer the color and stain your sneaker! Be sure to reserve each corner of your suede eraser for a specific color or shoe!

It's also important not to wear your shoes every day. Shoes, like sneakers, need to breathe and not be overworked!

These simple tips will help you prolong the life of your sneakers, which will retain their first-day charm!
